Though he calls Vice President Joe Biden his uncle, downtown DJ-musician Jamie Biden is more White Stripes than White House. After seeing him spin at ELLE's 25th anniversary bash we wanted to learn more about the nightlife fixture, who can also be found playing guitar with his band Bloody Social. Like what song always makes his playlist? "`Warp,' from Steve Aoki." Who does he dream of collaborating with? "Jack White would be at the top of that list. When he put out De Stijl, that record really cemented my desire to play music. Johnny Greenwood is up there, Robin Pecknold, Steve McBean...I could go on and on."

ELLE: You started playing music at a young age. How have your influences evolved over the years?JB: I think the more music you become exposed to the more your taste evolves, of course. I started with classical music because I was playing piano. I'd say my core influences have stuck with me over the years, but I'm constantly listening to new things that change the way I think about making music.

ELLE: After touring with Bloody Social for the past few years, do you have a favorite city to play in?JB: Copenhagen was an amazing city to play. The architecture, people, Christiana...very cool.

ELLE: I hear you're working on some film and TV scoring projects. Is there a film score you particularly admire?JB: Johnny Greenwood's score for There Will Be Blood is unbelievable. That was something really special

ELLE: What other projects do you have in the works?JB: I'm working with my partner Kent Rockafeller on this electro record. Also producing records for a few different artists at the moment. Working with a singer on Warner and a few other up and coming acts. I'm just trying to work with the most talented people I can find.

ELLE: Did you play any special gigs on election night?JB: No special gig. I was with my family. That was pretty special.

ELLE: What's the last song you downloaded?JB: My friend DJ Ruckus put me on to this Porter Robinson track "Say My Name." It's a serious record.

ELLE: What's the best advice advice you've gotten?JB: My Dad always says "keep moving." That's always stuck with me Tell me something that people would be surprised to know about you. If I told you that it wouldn't be a surprise.
